Our sishya are observing the traditions as Gurudeva would have hoped. We have this report from Adi Sankara in Mauritius.

Dear Swami, here are some photos which we want to share with swami and for Taka regarding the Vidhyarambam Samskara of Omvathi Peruman performed at the Sarveshwarar Siva Temple,Pailles,Mauritius, on 10th September 2010.

From Our Gurus' Teachings

Unless kundalini is active, the deepest meditative states are not available to us. But to activate kundalini, Gurudeva tells us we must invoke the grace of Lord Ganesha and Lord Murugan. "Yoga is internalized worship which leads to union with God." Experience the inside of you in a profound way. This requires dispassion. The popular term "kriya yoga" usual refers to a form of pranayama, but the original kriya yoga is defined by Sage Patanajli as the practice of three of the niyamas: tapas, svadhyaya and Isvarapranidhana. To achieve samadhi we practice yoga, steady restraint of mental activities, austerity, meditation, detachment, self study and worship of God. Communion with the Ishta Devata, the chosen God is a key and also Gurudeva tells us: the Deity chooses you.
